Well I blame Apple for this. Why? Because they obviously had video of the real thief and there is no excuse that they could not have compared the results of the two before notifying the police let alone have the system immediately of facial recognition know they aren't the same people visually.

If anything I want to know, does the store record anything outside its physical interior? What is the retention of this data. What is the process and safeguards before a situation like what just happened? Who makes the final decision? Are your images tagged each time you use your ID for any engagement within the store? Heck, do they even post notices they do this?

For a company that touts privacy they really blew it and in a spectacular way
